Shorehouse Remodel
Type: Structural – Residential Remodel
Partners: Cermak Construction
Small Space, Big Impact
This coastal home remodel may appear modest in scope, but it represents the kind of thoughtful structural solution that can make a major difference in day-to-day living. The goal was simple: remove the structural column that divided two garage bays and replace it with a single, unobstructed opening for a wider garage door. But executing that goal required precision engineering and a custom approach tailored to the space.
MDEP collaborated with Cermak Construction to deliver a clean, functional result that improved usability, accessibility, and curb appeal—while maintaining the structural integrity of the home.
Our Role
Removing a load-bearing column is never a one-size-fits-all task. Our team assessed the home’s framing system and designed a discreet, durable beam solution that redistributed structural loads safely across the new span. We worked hand-in-hand with the contractor to ensure seamless installation with minimal disruption to the surrounding structure.
No Project Too Big or Too Small
MDEP brings the same level of care and technical rigor to every project—whether it’s a landmark cultural site or a quiet residential remodel. We know that for homeowners, even a seemingly small improvement can have a significant impact. That’s why we’re proud to support projects of all shapes and sizes, delivering value wherever it’s needed.
